    Sorry for calling her a dirty little slapper, that is awful, sorry:o

    Trouble is that I asked if it was her and he said that she still had a boyfriend:confused:

    But then again he has told me lies quite a bit recently.

    Dont know what I have done wrong:(

    Nothing!!! - he's a confused little boy trying to be grown up and he needs to work through some stuff I would guess...

    Hi Lou

    when my DD was running with a 'bad' crowd it was hard for me to watch but I told her what I thought and what kind of behaviour I expected from her....tbh it didn't last long and they never got into too much trouble...I find I have more problems with DD2 whose friends are quite 'posh' but they look like butter wouldn't melt and their mothers don't quite seem to care about what they are up to....

    I can hardly hold my head up as the voice of experience - given my DS1 and DD1 situation but I do know that my kids will come to me when they are in trouble and need help...I think the only thing you can do is subtley let him know you don't like the girl, you are not keen on him mixing with her but you respect him enough to make his own decisions.

    You could always make a joke of the lovebite though and tell him that while he has no idea how it got there, you know full well how it got there and that if he lets it happen again he will get a slap.....

  • OMG,
    Angelflower-trying to be all discreet at work reading DFW and you made me SNORT with laughter! (luckily, not fart) Was still giggling for ages getting strange looks from workmates (what's new there though eh?)

    DH is off booking a lads holiday snowboarding-me jealous???? Naahhhh. (git)
    Told him he had to be around for my birthday (13th Feb) and 28th Feb(MEET!) and he wasn't happy, lol. TOO BAD. Mwah ha ha! He's going to have to take leave for the meet as well as he's supposed to be on night. Shame.

    Right, off for lunch in a sec-will try and catch up with you chatty lot.

    Hey Bookie, glad window is fixed!

    As luc said you have done nothing wrong.

    Kids wouldnt be kids unless they lied to their parents....i know i did

    But obviously when you are a parent things are different

    Lou - my son caused me an awful lot of heartache with his lies....I could cope with anything but his lies....even when it was blatant that he was lying.....he still lied.

    I just tried to make it clear that I knew he was lying (even though I guessed sometimes)
